Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Pershing Square offers a quintessential NYC dining experience with "outstanding service" and "excellent food." Its prime location near Grand Central makes it ideal for business meetings and breakfast. Outdoor seating is a plus in good weather. While the ambiance is lively, note potential air conditioning issues during hot days.

    Very disappointed. My breakfast was returned as it came with fried eggs instead of poached. Then we he tried his breakfast the potatoes were cold. When we got someone’s attention this was also returned. When both breakfasts arrived mine was correct however his had new hot potatoes but with the original omelette and toast which were both now cold. This was brought to the servers attention but at this stage we were hungry and did not want to wait any longer.

    Food was subpar. Nothing was tasty especially for the price. Was cool being across from Grand Central Station but other than that not a good experience. Waitress was not very helpful.

    Booked very last minute & was not disappointed! From the outside you would not expect the restaurant to be as grand as it is. Really lovely food & great service. Highly recommend.

    The atmosphere was lovely. The holiday decor was charming. The food was sub par. The Boston Lettuce Salad was like a side salad. Very small with one walnut chopped on lettuce and almost no dressing or apples. There was no blue cheese. It was like a small handful of lettuce. The pasta primavera was just ok. Not very flavorful and not much pasta. It was mostly peas. Not bad, but not good either. The server never came back after dropping off drinks until we waived her down 30 minutes after finishing for the check. It was not overly busy.

    Went with the family for dinner and our experience was mediocre. Food was bland had no seasoning. Our server Sanita was horrible! Didn’t check on us throughout the meal, didn’t ask if we needed more water/drinks nothing! She didn’t even get us water another server had to. It took her approximately 30 minutes to get back to us after giving us the drink menu to order second drinks or more appetizers by that time we didn’t want anything else. This place is definitely for tourists with the mediocre food and high prices I wouldn’t recommend this place.
